proxtop 0.2.1

Proxmox resource monitor

Proxtop lists the top resource consumers of your Proxmox VM platform.

It will list columns of the top users of these resources:

• cpu

• diskread

• diskwrite

• netin

• netout

IMPORTANT CHANGES IN proxtop 0.2.0:

• The default port is now 443. This was tested with Proxmox 4.0-57. If you want the old default port 8006 back, you may append “:8006” to the hostname.

• The VM container type is now used in the REST path: i.e. /qemu/ (or lxc) instead of /openvz/.

usage: proxtop [-h] [-T TOP] [-t TIMEFRAME] [-g AGGREGATION] [--partial-match]
               hostname username [only_vms [only_vms ...]]

proxtop lists the top resource consumers on your Proxmox VM platform.

positional arguments:
  hostname              Use this API hostname (e.g. proxmox.example.com[:443])

Future

Possible future enhancements:

• Explain how server-side AGGREGATION affects the values (or perhaps remove the AVG/MAX subtypes and show only one, based on -g).

• Add alternate modes of output?

• Limit results to only one item (cpu, diskread, …)?
